Infants to Toddlers

Hurry! Hurry! provides a great story line with vibrant art work and limited text. The book holds the attention of my 6 month old grandchild and it is expected it will be a favorite when she is a toddler.

The very young will appreciate the easy reader, which offers several words in big letters, plenty of action, and colorful pictures parents can easily use to help reinforce sounds and words.

Eve Bunting does it again!

In this charming children's book, Bunting captures the excitement and anticipation of a new baby as well as the celebration once they arrive. All the animals on the farm are so excited! The repeating language conveys a real feeling of urgency on the farm. But where are all of the animals rushing off to? Jeff Mack's illustrations begin calmly and develop an increasing intensity, driving you to keep turning pages at an ever-building pace. You easily gets drawn into the growing excitement. Both the words and illustrations again slow us down and we almost hold our breath in anticipation of the hatching chick. You will erupt with joy right along with the animals to greet the new baby chick. The beauty of this book lies in how the words and illustrations are seamlessly woven together to create an ever-building pace, a moment of breath holding and an inevitable release of joy. This book would be a great way to introduce the idea of a new baby in the family to a toddler. The repeating words, lively pictures and loving story are perfect for the early preschool set. Armchair Interviews says: Nice way to talk about a new baby.
